What does receiving this money mean to you?
I am very grateful to be enrolled in this Givedirectly programme. My husband has not built a house for me in my home village. If anything happened to him like death, I will be left with no house. Such things make you a laughing stock to friends and I would not want such embarrassment. I will use this money to build a good and big house with iron sheets.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am always happy knowing God has kept me alive. It is such a blessing
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Mostly I struggle in finding food. Sometimes am unable to farm with age. This leads to hunger in my home.
